Virtues Part 3 - Luisa Piccarreta Volume Excerpts

"Virtues make us reach a certain height, that is, of holiness, but in the divine will there are no boundaries." Louisa said, "As I was in my usual state, I was feeling all oppressed because of the privation of blessed Jesus.

Then he came for just a little, and he told me, 'My daughter, all the virtues in the creatures, that is, human beings, build a wall of a certain height.'" Now, they use the term height meaning height of holiness.

It took me ages to work it out when I...

they started using the term.

I realized that there's a Hebrew word that speaks of height in the way that we would u- say the summit of a mountain.

So, you reach the, the s- the, the summit of holiness, okay? The...

So the height of holiness, and in some of the higher volumes, Jesus speaks of the height of your blessed mother.

I thought, "Jeepers," you know? We, we knew she wasn't more than five foot whatever, you know.

[laughs]

Uh, what do you mean the height? She's the summit of holiness.

Okay.

He says that, "With the virtues, you can reach a certain level." We would say a certain level, "But the wall of the soul who lives in the will of God is a wall so high and deep that neither its depth nor its height can be found." Now, if you go to Revelation 21, and you get the description of the new Jerusalem, you're told that its walls are of an extraordinary height and that the lengths...

They actually describe the length of the walls as the distance between London and Sydney.

That is if, if you actually take the actual measurements given.

In other words, it's gonna fill the world.

You know what I mean? So, he's trying to tell you here, go into divine will, everything is limitless, okay? Stay in the human will, everything is limited.

So, that's the certain height, and then the limited, uh, uh, limitless thing.

Also, you see, these early volumes are, uh, preparing us to open up to what he's going to say about divine will.

So here, he's trying to say, "Listen, I, I need to sort of widen your vision on this subject." Is that okay? Also, it's all of pure and solid gold, not subject to any misfortune.

Now, gold has been considered the great glorious metal for time immemorial, so talking about solid gold is that this is it.

You can't get better than this.

Now, pure and solid gold is something you wouldn't get today, is it? We think we're doing grand if you get 22 karat gold, you know? Uh, not subject to any misfortune because since the wall is in the divine volition, divine w- divine will, that is in God.

Now, there's a very clear statement there.

If you're in the divine will, you are in God, because the divine will is the essence of God.

It's the operational part of the blessed trinity.
